Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

We are on our second snowfall for October, right now, here in Colorado. I thought it would be fitting to pull out my homemade hot chocolate recipe. I did not have enough of the ingredients to make my ultra-large batch, but I thought I would it with what I had, and modified the portions. It's been two years, since I last made some. Last year, I got all my hot chocolate boxes free after coupons. My boys raided all of those, and in no time, they were gone! I think I need to add more powdered milk to my grocery list to make more. It would also be nice to have a coffee maker for hot water only! :)

Ingredients:

2/3 cup powdered milk

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 tbs cocoa

Mix all ingredients together. For each 1 cup of hot water, use 4 tbs (1/4 cup) of the mix; stir well. This is not a very large batch. I think I got 4 cups of hot chocolate out of it, great for Christmas gifts to teachers.
